PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GENERAL

Vulcan ranges and ovens are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance of your range will result in many years of satisfactory performance.

The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the
instructions provided.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

This range was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full
responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after unpacking, check
for possible shipping damage. If the range is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and
contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Carefully unpack range(s) and place in the approximate installation position, whether as a battery or
single stand-alone range.

Remove parts (packed in a cardboard box) from oven cavity, or cabinet body, or on top of modular
range(s).

Remove wire or nut from rear of each burner before installing the range.

Before installing, check the electrical service (Convection Oven Models only) and type of gas supply
(natural or propane) to make sure they agree with the specifications on the rating plate located on the
inside of the burner box lower panel. The rating plate will show the voltage, phase, cycle, full load
ampere, BTU, as well as the type of gas. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do
not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart Company immediately.

The ranges are suitable for installation on combustible floors when 6" (15 cm) adustable legs are used.
When legs are removed, use only on noncombustible floors, curb, or platform, with front appliance
projecting 3" (8 cm) beyond curb or platform.

Ranges with Snorkle ovens should be installed on 6" (15 cm) legs or casters, allowing 6" (15 cm)
clearance from the rear of the range. If ranges with Snorkle ovens are installed directly on curbs,
without legs, or in back-to-back installations, provisions must be made for adequate air circulation,
and these provisions must be approved by Vulcan-Hart Company Service Department. Contact
Vulcan-Hart Company at the address or phone number shown on the front cover of this manual.

All modular ranges are to be installed only on non-combustible floors.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A
minimum front clearance of 35" (88 cm) is required.

The range(s) must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed.
Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber(s) must be provided. Make sure
there is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow for combustion of the gas at the burners.

Floor Installation on Legs

The 6" (15 cm) adjustable legs must be tightened securely. Level each range by turning the foot
portion of the adjustable legs.

Lining up Range Battery

In batteries of ranges, it is recommended that the center range be installed and leveled first. Level
each range, one at a time, to line up high shelf and roll front with adjacent range. Bolt the high
shelves

and roll fronts together.

CONNECTION OF MANIFOLDS IN BATTERY

Two or more ranges can be coupled together at the manifold by removing the front control panel to
make necessary connections. Be sure to cap open ends. To connect:

1. Adjust manifold by loosening U-bolts. In a large battery of eight or more ranges, gas should be
fed from both ends of the battery. "T" gas connections can be installed whenever necessary for
increased gas supply. For further details, consult your gas company. The top roll front may also
be removed for your convenience.

2. Bolt risers together at top rear.

3. If risers have high shelves, bolt the high shelf brackets together. Replace the high shelves.

4. Use clamp to pull ranges together at the rear. (There is a slotted hole in the top frame side at
the rear that can be used to bolt ranges together if necessary. Run a
the slotted hole, drilling from inside out on each range.) Use

1

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to
the action of propane gases.

This appliance must be connected with a gas supply line as large or larger ID (net inside diameter) than
the gas pipe inlet provided on the rear of the appliance. Connect gas supply to the range(s). Make sure
the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range(s).

Ranges manufactured for use with propane gas are equipped with fixed orifices.

A gas pressure regulator must be furnished by the installer or plumber at the time of installation. The
regulator must be listed by a nationally recognized testing agency. These appliances are rated at the
following pressure: Natural Gas - 5" W.C. (Water Column) (1.25 kPa); Propane Gas - 10" W.C. (2.49 kPa).

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When test pressures exceed

1

/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When test pressures are

1

/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the range must be isolated from the gas supply

system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

— 12 —

FLUE CONNECTIONS

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the range. It is
recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation
system installed by qualified personnel.

A minimum of 18" (45 cm) must be maintained between the ventilation system and the cooking surface.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard
for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

CLEANING

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.

Open Top Burners

Daily

Remove grates and clean under and around open burners.

Weekly

1. Clean each burner thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and
polish with a soft dry cloth. A detergent may be used for cleaning. To remove discolorations, use
a non-abrasive cleaner, always rubbing with the grain of the metal.

2. Clean bottom drip pan. To remove drip pan, reach under and lift rear of pan about 1" (2.5 cm),
slide pan to the rear about

1

/2" (1.3 cm), and drop front end of pan free. Slide pan forward between

the front legs. To replace pan, reverse this procedure.

3. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.

4. Main burner ports and throats must be thoroughly cleaned. Venturi must be free from grease
and lint. To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye water for 15-20 minutes, then brush
with a wire brush. DO NOT insert pick in burner port hole.

5. Open burner pilot flash tubes and burner ignition port must be clear for burners to ignite properly
from the pilot.

Griddle Top

Empty grease daily. Clean griddle top regularly.

KEEP GRIDDLE PLATE SURFACE CLEAN. To produce evenly cooked, browned products, keep
griddle free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from
the griddle surface to food. This results in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency, and
carbonized grease tends to stick to the griddled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and
unappetizing appearance.

To keep the griddle clean, follow these simple instructions:

After Each Use

Clean griddle with a wire brush or flexible spatula.

Daily

1. Thoroughly clean backsplash, sides and front. Remove grease drawer, empty it and wash it out
in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.

2. Clean griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle stone, wire brush or stainless steel wool on the
surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still warm. A detergent may be used
on the plate surface to help clean it, but you must ensure the detergent is thoroughly removed.

3. Clean stainless surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove
discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.

Exterior

Daily

Clean exterior finish with a mild solution of soap or grease-dissolving cleaner.

Range Tops

Daily

1. Wipe top while still warm with a soft cloth.

2. Clean drip pan under burners.

Weekly

Boil open top grates and burners in a solution of washing soda and water.

Range Ovens

Daily

Clean oven and door daily.

Do not use scouring powder on finishes. Scouring powder is extremely difficult to remove completely.
It can build up accumulations that will damage the oven or remove corrosion resistant finishes.

STAINLESS STEEL

Here are a few simple cleaning procedures that have been found effective for keeping stainless steel
equipment clean, sparkling and bright.

General Cleaning

Use ordinary soap or detergent and water for routine cleaning of stainless steel. To prevent water spots
and streaks, rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. The addition of a
rinsing agent will also help prevent spotting.

Fingerprints

Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can be
minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin oily or waxy film.

To use these cleaners, simply wipe on and remove excess with a soft dry cloth. After using, subsequent
fingerprints will usually disappear when wiped lightly with a soft cloth or with a cloth containing a little
of the cleaner. If the surface is especially dirty to start, wash first with soap or detergent and water.

Burned-On Foods and Grease

Soaking with hot soapy water will help greatly to remove burned-on foods and grease.

Heat Tint

Straw-colored or slightly darkened areas may appear on stainless steel in and around ovens and
ranges where temperatures reach 500°F (260°C) or more. This "heat tint" is caused by a slight
oxidation of the stainless steel and is not harmful.

To control or minimize this condition, never use more heat than is absolutely necessary.

Commercial heat tint remover products may be used.

Precautions

When scraping off heavy deposits of grease or oil from stainless steel equipment, never use ordinary
steel scrapers. Particles of ordinary steel may become embedded in, or lodge on, the surface of the
stainless steel. These will rust, causing unsightly stains and possible contamination of food. Where
it is necessary to scrape, use stainless steel, wood, plastic or rubber tools.
